Yeah, but like everything else in Phil's life, he's only half assing it.But....isn't he?
I mean it may not look like it, but he talks up orchi and other surgeries.
From what I understand, he doesn't even take hormones. That seems like such a simple thing to do, considering his medicare/medicaid would probably pay for them.
It's more of a skullet at this point. His hairline is shooting up fast.He got a mullet.
It does say something that he put significantly more effort into trying to dress up as some anime character than looking like a woman.
I'm of the opinion that Phil is more in love with the idea of being transgendered than actually being transgendered. He sees it as some sort of social club that only a few people are a part of and, due to being shunned out of literally every other social group he's ever been a part of, he wants in so he can feel special. Problem is, transitioning isn't as easy as putting on some costume. For all his bluster and bullshit, Phil won't commit to the full transition because he's a total chickenshit and he knows there's no going back. I think the only reason he hasn't completely abandoned the trans identity yet is because he found people just as fucked up as him who won't give him the time of day otherwise. Or, in the case of @tweaker the cat, he found emotionally vulnerable people he can prey on in this group.
Anywho, Phil isn't trans, his daddy didn't rape him, and he's going to die alone.
A male- looking MTF trans person receives more attention than passable trans people. If Phil somehow became passable, then he wouldn't receive as many weird looks as he currently does with his male appearance and autistic antics. Phil needs the negative attention to get sympatathy, money, and free rooms from his asspaters.
Phil was able to get hormones, at only 40 a month well with in his tug boat. He takes them sometimes to play trans. Like anything else in Phil's life he can't be bothered to really do it. He's that lazy either he's really trans and won't do anything about it or he's just playing it up for ass pats.He probably can't get past the gatekeeper.
As to the looking like a dude part, I think these bogus trannies get off on deliberately putting no effort into it, brazenly looking like a dude, and then putting one over on people who politely go along with his ludicrous claim to femininity.
Even in the incredibly unlikely event that Phil became remotely feminine looking, even to the point you could tell he was trying, he still has the equivalent of "I'M A COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOT" tattooed all over his body.
Shit like substantial numbers of prison tattoos may not be "smart," but they send a message: "Hey, this guy is potentially a seriously dangerous criminal and you should not fuck with him." He's managed to get tattoos that basically send a message he's crazy and stupid but not scary in the least.

This is why people should call him a dude constantly and totally ignore his pronoun preferences and laugh in his face.
